Joseph Aloba has appealed to Lagos Govenor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to investigate the officials of the Lagos State Forensic and DNA Centre involved in the process of the autopsy carried out on his late son, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
He made the appeal while speaking to PUNCH after the US-based lab denied conducting the toxicology test at the State Government facility.
He said, “I was brought to tears when I learnt of the denial. I never expected such a fabrication. It now appears that the claim of it being taken to the US was concocted from the beginning, indicating an attempt to conceal the truth.
“Hearing the news made me more sorrowful about the death of my son. I don’t believe the state government could deceive everyone, saying they went to conduct the test and they did not. I felt so pained. It also assures me that we will get justice in the end.
“Before Mohbad died, he said if they killed him, they could not kill all his family who would get justice for him. And that is what we are doing now.”
“I want the governor to investigate the officials involved in the autopsy process. They were assigned to carry out the assignment and need to explain why this is happening.”
Mohbad died at the age of 27, on September 12, 2023, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.
